Was it 4am this morning or 4pm this evening???…..Rest In Peace to the gentleman.
At 4pm in the morning? God rest his soul..
are the 2 incidents related??
@Frederic Slimane: you’d imagine so. Found dead is a strange way to put it if she’s had knocked him down. It probably implies that the man was on the ground already dead and she came across him.
have your say
